COAT AND HAT HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,637, dated December18, 1888.

I Application filed February 24, 1888. Serial No. 265,151. (No model.)

.T0 aZZ whom it mag/,concern- Be it known that I, I'IERSCHEL B. BAKER, acitizen of the United States, residing at Plainville, in the county ofHartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Coat and Hat Hooks, of which the following,I is aspecification.

Hy invention relates to improvements in coat and hat hooks; and theobjects of my invention are to improve the `general efciency of thearticle and to reduce its bulk in transportation.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of my coatand hat hook with the front end of the bracket-arm in vertical section,and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of said hook.

A designates the main portion or body of the hook, having a base-plate,foto rest against the wall or other support, which base may be securedto said support in any ordinary manner. As shown, the fa'isteninW-screwl) is secured to the main portion A in the process of casting.

B designates the upper arm, which is designed for use as a hat-hook. Atthe front end of the body is the bracket-arm c, perforated vertically,as shown in Fig. l.

O is the attachable and detachable coat-sup porting bar, havin g on itsunder side a pin or tenon, d, Fig. 1, which tits snugly into the hole inthe bracket-arm c. In order to prevent the bar C from turningl on itspin, I provide said bar with lugs f, which project downwardly on eachside ot' the bracket-arm.

The coat-supporting bar is designed to be detached from the body or mainportion ot' the hook for transportation, and to be attached to thebracket-arm by merely crowding` down into place. The complete device inthe form shown is then ready for use.

IVhile I always prefer to provide the device with the special arm l fora hat-hook, it is evident that the construction of the other parts willremain the saine wheiher or not said arm is present.

I am 'aware that a prior patent shows and describes a revolving'coat-torm, which consists oi' a bracket-arm and a eoatsnppoliing` barswiveled thereon andprevented from falling oit' by a screw and nut. Sucha device is hereby disclaimed.

I claim as my inventionrlhe herein-described coat and hat hook,consisting, essentially, of the main or body portion having' thebracket-arm c, perforated vertically, and the attachable and detachablecoat-supportinp` bar having` the pin or tenon (l, and theside lues, f,vfitted to said bracketarm, substantially as described, and for thepurpose specified.

IIERSCHEL B. BAKER.
